I think eventually the project will move to a more moderation type
phase. When the data is used by many people and people report bugs on
the map (the street name is wrong, no longer exists, there's a post
box here) and people will be responsible for a particular area to
check  reports and apply changes.

It's going to be a while before we get there...

Have a nice day,
